In a quiet, leafy setting just west of the Boston border, close to shopping, dining, and transportation, this timeless home epitomizes the appeal of living in historic Cottage Farm, a sought-after Brookline neighborhood only about a mile from Boston’s Back Bay. The stately 3-story Georgian Revival is presented on sweeping grounds in the heart of this picturesque residential area. With a versatile floor-plan, this 6-bedroom, 4-bath residence creates a wonderful sense of character in gracefully proportioned rooms set off by detailed moldings, four fireplaces, and large light-flooded windows as signature elements of its charmingly elegant 19th-century design. To either side of the center hall, the beautiful living and dining rooms are both highlighted by stately fireplaces and illumined by grand front windows and side-facing boxed bays. The sitting room/library opens into a bright sun room, next to a deck overlooking the back lawns. Expansive third-floor game/recreation/office space.
